Hidden Cenote Swim: Snorkeling, Sea Turtles and Beachside Lunch

Tracy_N, Oct 2026

Turtles 🐢🥰 and Cenote 🤗🫶🏼

The cenote is stunning and the history is very interesting. Swimming with the turtles was magical. Very cool. It was a great trip if you want something that is along long day. We left at 7:00am and were back at our hotel by 2:45. The guide Henri and driver Adal were fantastic.

Andrea_G, Sep 2026

Book this - it’s AMAZING! Hugo is awesome!!!

This way more awesome than the description says. This is one of our top fav tours of all time and we’ve traveled all over the world. Hugo was AMAZING! He was very patient, didn’t rush us, so knowledgeable and very friendly. We loved having him as our guide! We had French, Spanish & English speaking people in our small group of 7 - and Hugo spoke all 3 languages fluently. So impressive! We will come do this tour again! There are like 5 different caves they do tours for - we did the Happiness cave - we’ll try a new one next time although I wouldn’t be sad to do this exact cave again! And I hope to get Hugo again!

Orlando_G, Aug 2026

Amazing time!

This is an all day trip due to the distance from Cancun/Riviera maya but we'll worth it. Spectacular fresh water lake that looks like the ocean. Crystal clear water and zero seaweed. It is not crowded which is hard to believe with how beautiful it is. Seems to be more of a locals place.

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Naranatha_D, Aug 2026

Chichen Itza experience

The staff were wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better staff than them. With that being said, it was a long day. One of the stops felt slightly unnecessary, but it was my choice to pick that excursion, so please read the excursion details carefully before selecting one. The Chichen Itza experience felt overwhelming for me. The reason being, I couldn’t fully immerse myself in the experience because of the line of vendors from the beginning of the walkway all the way to the pyramids. For me, I need to be immersed in the culture—experiencing the past while connecting it with the present—not constantly being approached and harassed to purchase items. I felt that the vendors should be stopped at a certain point rather than being allowed all the way around the pyramid.

Our guide Frank and...

Our guide Frank and driver Hose were really nice and the tour was really organized. Best tour we had. Historic places may not sound like the best place for kids but they made it so entertaining for the kids and our 7 and 9 year olds LOVED it. We cannot thank Frank and Hose enough. Thank you Amigo tours for having a great team!!

Fantastic guide and good mexican experience

Sergio was an excellent guide. It was a pleasure to listen to his stories and ask all sorts of questions about the Mayan history. Cenote was great. Lunch great. Tequila tasting great. The bus could have been a bit more comfy to be honest, quite tight for tall people but overall great experience.

Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!

Danielle_S, Aug 2026

Highly Recommend!

Great experience. I highly recommend doing this one. It was absolutely perfect. First we got on the boat and took a short ride to the snorkeling spot. We had about 20 min in the water and saw some cool sculptures. It was the perfect amount of time. Then we hopped back on the boat and the drinks were flowing. We went to a beach club with a buffet which was mid but we weren’t there for the food anyway. We laid in hammocks in the water and went to the ice bar which was so nice to cool off in. We were there about an hour and a half. Then we got back in the boat and went to playa Norte. We went shopping and hit the beach. There for about 2 hours. Again, the right amount of time. Took a boat back to the marina. We made friends with other couples and it was a great time. We got to see everything that was on my Isla mujeres checklist and were well taken care of. Our tour guide, Giovani was awesome!! STAR 5 crew!

It’s certainly a long hot day but a great day experiencing more Mexican culture. My favorite parts were the lunch, cenote, and valladoid. I am glad I got to see Chichen Itza but I probably wouldn’t go again. It’s hot and taxing. The van ride is also long. Glad for the whole experience though! Would at least do all of this once. Great tour guides!

An amazing tour -- but also many sales pitches

The tour here was the whole reason we took a trip to Mexico. I loved almost everything about the tour, from the zest of the guide for local history, to our bus tour guide who was very funny, to the smooth navigation of the bus driver. Getting to the Yucatan early was essential in not completely frying, as the temps peaked around 108 degrees that day. We went to a Cenote after and the cool water was absolutely welcome and needed. I think the only negatives were that there were a lot of moments that made us feel very pressured to spend or buy. I think that the tour company had some partnerships throughout, so many moments on the bus felt like a little sales pitch for a local. I get it, but it became overwhelming at times, between the star charts that were being sold to the pictures with a parrot that were thrust upon guests, to even just tipping after the tour was over (we would've tipped, surely, but the pressure was piled throughout for not only tips, but BIG tips).

Exceptional day out!

Brilliant water park with so much to see and do. Everything is very well organised with conveniently spaced locker/shower stations and plenty of towels available (although the towels could have been bigger). Food and drink options are all great and the staff all welcoming and friendly. The grounds themselves are gorgeous and really pleasant to just walk around and enjoy. Worth the ticket price. Do ensure you have a waterproof phone case (to take lots of pictures) and some water shoes though.

Come hydrated… tons of activities and you can’t bring your things with you. Overall very fun! The photographer captured tons of pictures of everyone doing the excursions so be prepared to spend money for that. I bought all 109 pics of me and my daughter for about $80.
